I need to know what's an echo heart scan and can you tell me the procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Echo: A technician puts gel on your skin and moves the transducer over the skin thru the gel to obtain ultrasound images of the heart. The patient lies quietly on the table. The test is not uncomfortable.
